I debated whether or not I should post this, but on further reflection,
I decided it would be entirely appropriate, as the show is animated in
Japan, so here's the skinny:

WING COMMANDER ACADEMY, an animated program based on the famous computer
game starring Mark Hammill, Malcolm McDowell, Tom Wilson, and many
others, debuts TOMORROW (Saturday, Sept. 21) on the USA Network. Why am
I posting this? Because I had the honor of actually working on the show
as character designer, and I storyboarded pieces of several
episodes--all of which were animated in Japan!

Check it out if you're so inclined--I haven't seen any footage yet, so
I'm getting pretty geeked!

Well at least improve the mech because they are kind of squary and
unrealistic. But keep at it

Would that I could!!! The mecha in the show were all pre-fabricated,as
they were originally designed for the computer games, and by the time I
was brought on board, another designer had already been given the job of
setting the final model sheets.

In other words, I am in total agreement with you. Thanks for posting!
